It was used in various magical rituals - to call "to the conversation" of the dead man or to withdraw information about his future.To fulfill the Christmas fortune telling with a mirror, you need to take a reflective object in any sickness, go to the window and send it to watch the face of the month in it. The greater the number of the moons you will see in the mirror, the biggest family and offspring will receive in the future.

Those who wish to pay in dots on the occurrence of midnight went to the intersection and listened to what is happening around:

Follow the threads having the same length, and then each girl needs to take one of the threads with his left hand, and the right hand is setting it out.

When paper burns, put a candle to the dish and consider the shadow that is discarded by a burnt newspaper on the wall.

When you put, you say the following words: "Who is my narrowed, who is my muddy, will translate me across the bridge."It is believed that now you have to contemplate this night in a dream of your future spouse.
If you wish, the rod can be replaced by ordinary matches. Everything else in fortune telling remains unchanged: you just put the bridge under the bed, but only now speak a little other words:
"Dailed, rude, come the water to get drunk"
Book
At the time of our ancestors, the Bible traditionally became a book for predictions. Today, you can, of course, somewhat modify the prediction of the future and take advantage of any other edition of free topics.
So, if you wish to get an answer to the disturbing your soul, in thoughts to clearly formulate it, then think about the number of the line, it will be the bottom or top line and at random open the publication. By interrupting the response received, pay attention not just on the planned line itself, but also the entire page as a whole and the semantic composition.
In the event that the response is not possible to interpret logically, we can reinstate divination.
Divination for christmas using a mirror
The method of predicting the coming in duplicate days with the use of a mirror at the same time has a high accuracy, but also pays a certain danger. According to some stories, girls and women performing it, sometimes in the process lose consciousness. Therefore, it is worth thinking once again before being taken for such a risky event.
The danger of divination is due to the fact that, according to the ancient beliefs, the mirror is a kind of border that separates reality from the other world. Here are the variety of signs and customs.
- For example, one of the believes says that the crashed mirror is the harbinger of unhappy events.
- It is also considered that it is impossible to look at yourself in the mirror when the street is thunderstorm.
- It is noteworthy that mostly all bad signs concern that it is reflections in a mirror surface. So, the woman should not have looked into the mirror when she risked to break the boundaries of our and the "of the world", that is, during pregnancy, when the kid just appeared on the light, and throughout the postpartum period. People thought she was now "unclean."
Of course, today many changes occurred - first of all, another technology for the manufacture of mirror items is used. Today, the silver coating of the mirrors has long been replaced by lead, and the last one is inherent shorter "memory" - respectively, modern mirrors are not so dangerous as those in which our grandmothers looked.
But even despite this, and now they do not advise to show a newborn mirror, as they fear that his faster soul risks to divide into two parts and the child will be filled with negative energy.
Although we have now paid attention to the negative side of the mirrors, in reality they have both faithful abilities. So, for example, if some unclean essence is reflected in the mirror, then it immediately loses its magical abilities and can no longer harm anyone.
But let's return to the Christmas fortune of the mirror. It is performed on such instructions:
- An ideal place for divination is any "unclean", best, if it is a bath. In time - of course, the night, or rather, at midnight - the time of the greatest permeability of the border, which the mirror indicates.
- It is important that the girl was in the room in full solitude. Hair blooms, you need to remove the belt.
- Two table appliances with a mirror and a candle are put on the table.
- After that, the girl is sitting next to the mirror and pronounces such words: "Durable, rich, come to me dinner."
- Then her task is to sit and wait until a man appears in the mirror who will look over her shoulder.
- When you consider his face, you need to immediately speak protective words: "Chur of place!". Then the image immediately disappears, and nothing threatens the girl anymore.
Note! Dangerously peeled in the face of a potential "spouse", as it is fraught with unpredictable consequences. Still, you are not a real person, but unclean.
Exists Another variation of this fortune telling - It uses two mirrors, arranged one opposite the other in such a way that they reflect each other. One mirror is placed on the table, on which two candles are placed around the sides.
When the clock is trying twelve nights, you must remove clothes from yourself, sit down in the chair in the middle of the mirror items and start peppering in your face in the mirror. With the correct placement of mirrors on their reflections, a long gallery is created - a kind of mirror corridor. It is in it that the image of the future husband of the girl should appear.
As in the previous version of divination with mirrors, it is necessary to remember about your safety and use protective words in time.
